What happened: Dallas Cowboys cornerback Joey Porter Jr. is expected to play today after being listed as questionable after rolling his ankle in practice. The matchup has not started yet, with the score at Dallas Cowboys 0, Green Bay Packers 0.

Why it matters: Pushing a cornerback through an ankle issue immediately after an illness absence compromises lateral mobility in coverage. Protecting the defensive backfield for the remainder of the regular season matters more than forcing snaps at less than full strength.
